    It could be a good scrap...but far from one of the best...
    Abraham doesn't have the style for that !

    Hmmm, maybe, but to tell you the truth I see Pavlik as the better of the two fighters so I kind of expect him to dominate much of the action until finally crushing Abraham under his power later on in the fight.

    Best fight of all time? The probability is always there . . . but not likely.

    Until now . . . the question of which is the best fight of all time hasn't been settled yet . . . how can we say this is gonna be the best of all time? :lol:

    Maybe the best in the modern history of boxing . . . that's more realistic . . . but of all time? I'll say HYPE! :D

    first off i said "one of the best" of all time not "the best".... thats always up for argument. That being said I still think this fight has all the elements to being a GREAT fight and possibly a fight that could be mentioned next to a Hagler-Hearns, pryor-arguello... both guys are undefeated... both have belts... both have ton of heart (pavlik getting up from that taylor assault in their first fight) and (abraham fighting for 8 rounds with a broken jaw that looked painful to watch)... there is a lot of anticipation and buildup leading to this fight. They both have aggressive all action type fighting styles and both have good chins. And both are young in their prime. It doesn't get any better than this. I am a big Pavlik fan but as of last saturday I'm a fan of Abraham as well. May the best man win if this ever comes about.

    And both brutally knocked out Miranda to enhance their resumes. Both have defended their titles convincingly

    I think it will end in a big knockout but I think Abraham may be a bit too sparratic to make an amazing fight. We all know Kelly is gonna hustle and work him down and hopefully Arthur keeps up and doesn't just close off.

    On paper it looks that way but Kels can totally dominate this guy - given AA spots of inactivity and Kels relentless style --

    agreed in all fairness i don't think the american public has seen enough of either fighter to give an accurate judgement yet.

    Watch this one turn into another Wlad/Iggy kind of yawner, only just a tad more eventful.
